An avant-garde fusion of rock and jazz
CU Columbia Spectator
This position suggests that the use of pop music techniques in the album did diminish its avant-garde and cerebral elements. Veal is the author of Fela: Life and Times of an African a biographical examination of the Nigerian-born musician who was best known for his 1980s Afropop. More recently he has published Dub: Soundscapes and Shattered Songs in Jamaican Reggae which discusses the use of techniques such as sampling and the reuse of sound in reggae music. The book also explores themes such as post-colonial identity and formal avant-garde innovations in the studio. These themes will also most likely make an appearance during Monday?s discussion as one of Bitches Brew?s claims to fame is its innovative use of studio technology. Davis manipulated audio tapes to create a composition and used studio procedures such as overdubbing. Musician and journalist Harald Kisiedu will be acting as respondent during the lecture.

Reggae-jam band Roots of Creation goes for shared experience

?There?s a bunch of bands that combine reggae with rock but I?ve never seen a band that combines improvisational elements with reggae. ? Some DJs will mix jungle with dancehall reggae but still there?s not much improvisation and jam thrown in there. 4 PINTS: Why do you think that hasn?t been done before?BW: A lot of reggae music is specifically song-based with three- or four-minute songs and is really focused on what the musicians are saying and keeping it simple and really not wanting to stray from that. ?But really where (the combination of styles) makes sense is that we do a lot of dub music and dub mixes really well with electronic music; they have similar elements of pulling instrumentals in and out and having heavy bass. 4 PINTS: Do the lyrics still play an important role in your songs?BW: I?d say we do 65 percent lyrics-based songs with a little bit of an instrumental section in them and then we have a bunch of instrumental songs that we throw in the mix. 4 PINTS: Why the mix?BW: If you play too much instrumental stuff it can be overwhelming for people and it might not connect as much but it depends on what kind of audience we?re playing for. ? They?re two separate things but I think they go really well together.
